Squads & Route to the Semi Final for Uzbekistan U23 vs. South Korea U23

We’ve already covered the South Korea squad in previous posts, basically mainly domestic squad players. The same applies for Uzbekistan who all play at home, but mostly in the top division, and a few have senior international caps (friendlies but still).

Preview & Prediction for Uzbekistan U23 vs. South Korea U23

The game is being played at the Kunshan Stadium, a place the South Korea team know well having played all of their games so far there. South Korea are undefeated during the tournament so far and have generally been strong moving forward but lacking a little bit at the back. The opposite could have been said for Uzbekistan during the group stages scoring only twice but only conceding once. But then they went a shocked Japan scoring 4.
This could be a defensive game. The Kunshan Stadium pitch isn’t designed for flowing football. We see it going to Extra Time and Korea scoring the only goal of the game, maybe via a set-piece.

Prediction: Uzbekistan 0-1 (AET) South Korea U23
